Old bicycle bell

Riding my 41 Super Deluxe Autocycle
I picked up this bell during my travels last week and would like to learn about it. I can find no writing on it other than "made in the USA" on the lever. How old is it and who manufactured it. It is nickel over brass and is quite heavy. Value? Thanks for the help!

The Bevin Bell Company.
The timelines for a lot of these bells stretched out over decades.
Many were first created right after the turn of the 20th Century, and continued to be made clear into the 1950’s.
Check out the thread; “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”
There’s a lot of good catalog info in there.
